Here is the Halloween version of the classic Shirley Temple. You will only need Sprite, ice, Grenadine, and some syringes for the spooky look. Since it’s a non-alcoholic drink, you can prepare it for the kids. They will definitely enjoy squirting the ‘blood’ into their drinks.

To prepare this cocktail, you will need fresh or frozen strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, pomegranate juice, and a 750-milliliter bottle of vodka. Add all the ingredients to the blender, pulse several times and refrigerate for at least an hour or even up to a few days. Pour the vodka and fruit mixture through a mesh strainer, and your Halloween drink is ready.
3. Vampire Cocktail

Like the first idea, you can put the raspberry puree – that will look like blood when cooked with sugar – into syringes. Shake vodka and amaretto with some ice, stir in the OJ and club soda and pour it over ice. Stick the syringes in the glasses and just wait until the adults start playing with it just like kids.
4. Bloody Brain Shooter

To create this disgusting-looking but delicious brain shooter, you will need Peach Schnapps, Bailey’s, and a few drops of Grenadine Syrup. Pour the schnapps into the shot glass, add the Baileys to the shot glass and slowly drip a little grenadine over the back of a warm spoon. That’s all you need to do to create the submerged bloody brain look.
5. Bloody Cosmopolitan

6. Blood and Guts Cocktail
